One thing you can do in Germany but can't in the US is "drinking in public". Bring your beer, sit down at the market, park or just walk around while drinking it.
A very common thing, specially in cities with a high amount of students or the like is the so called "Wegbier" (on-the-way-beer) where you go with friends from your house to i.e. a pub and on that way you have a beer to bridge the gap so to say.
I got stopped for this in Lithuania and Canada and basically learned the hard way that this is not common elsewhere.
Das heißt Fußpils!
Pfui! Pils!
I thinh it's normal in central/west europe. We are lucky!
In the US it's not only drinking but even carrying an exposed bottle of alcohol. Which is why in some places liquor stores are called package stores (if I recall correctly), because they package the bottle in a brown bag.
It is legal to drink in an automobile in Mississippi, but not in any other state.
Let's get Mississippissed then.
